At Brackenwood, we believe in supporting local talent and investing in the next generation. We are proud to sponsor Tom Crawley, a young racing driver from Basingstoke who is already making a strong impact in competitive karting.
About Tom & Early Progression
Tom began karting in 2024 after a Christmas gift session quickly revealed natural ability. Within two months, he reached the highest level in the TeamSport Race Academy.
Since then, his progression has been rapid, matched by his pace on track. Away from racing, his focus is just as strong, following Formula One and studying the sport in detail.
Progression
Tom’s rise has been fast and consistent.
In his first competitive season, he secured a 7th place finish at the British Indoor Karting Championship. By 2025, he had moved into outdoor karting and established himself as one of the strongest drivers in his category.
Key highlights include:
- 2nd overall in the FAT Karting Regional Championship
- Most race wins across the season
- Top 3 qualifying at every round
- Multiple pole positions and fastest laps
He also reached the National Semi Finals of the British Indoor Karting Championship, placing among the top drivers from over 5,000 entrants.
Current Season & Achievements

Tom has now stepped up into Junior karting, a significant move with faster karts and tougher competition.
He has already made an immediate impact, winning his first Grid Series race of the season, taking pole position and fastest lap, and finishing well ahead of the field.
He continues to compete in the FAT Karting League and is aiming to qualify again for the British Indoor Karting Championship.

Vision, Support & Follow
From Tom
“I want to keep improving and prove myself in junior karts. It is a big step up, but I am focused on adapting quickly and becoming one of the fastest drivers in the category.
Long term, I would like a career in motorsport. Formula One would be the goal, but I am also interested in the technical side of the sport.”
“I love the speed and the focus. When I am on track, it is just me, the kart and the race.”
